For most of the rest of the world, "America" refers to the pair of continents nestled between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Technically everyone on those continents is American, and people with a better handle on geography and a more... robust world perspective recognize the need to specify. For better or worse, our culture has appropriated the term American to mean those within the U.S., but that's not really accurate. I mean, it's literally inaccurate; it's like saying Florida when someone asks you what city you're from.
Now, why those people aren't going after Linsys, Netgear, etc.... and the cell phone companies has me a little confused because they have the deep pockets - and a much better chance of a payoff.
It's actually a much better chance of getting a "lol, go away tiny troll" letter from those companies with huge legal departments.
Probably, but when Joe McFastypants, multimillion dollar racing team crew captain, who's buying 12-32 $400 dollar tires every race weekend, says he wants nitrogen, you don't tell him it's cheaper to use scrubbed air that has MOST of the water vapor content removed: You put nitrogen in the tires. The difference in price is nonexistent when you look at a racing team's budget. And even if it was, the difference in price would have to be ABSURD for them to use an option that wasn't the absolute best.
Race car tires are filled with Nitrogen instead of compressed air because compressed is rife with water vapor, which expands when it heats up. This changes the pressure inside the tire, which can drastically affect handling characteristics over the course of a race, which is a Bad Thing. Using Nitrogen to fill the tires negates this, it has nothing to do with fire safety.
>So, I just thought I'd put that question there. It's easy to say "hey, you guys should figure out a way to...", but doing it is harder than saying it. I'm skeptical that there are any business models that can undercut piracy which don't also involve a large cut in revenues.
Sometimes, people make less money than they used to.
The entire (100%) reason I use hulu is so that I don't have to pay the cable company for the pleasure of watching heavily fragmented (by ad interruption) TV shows and movies on someone else's schedule.
It used to be easier than navigating eztv or tpb and then waiting for something to download, but I guess that's out the window now.
You think that if there weren't laws stating the limits of what a corporation can require of its employees, this is the worst thing they'd have you do? All of the laws limiting corporate behavior like this are there because they were necessary, just like this one is.
If we applied your thinking more broadly, no one would want to work anywhere. I'm not saying you're wrong on that count... but you know. There's isn't a big corp on the planet that wouldn't start doing this if it became really mainstream.
I don't see any issue with taking responsibility by sucking that thing out of there before it derails 2 lives and increases an already too-high population.
"Technically not incorrect" is really not the bar we should be shooting for when it comes to one's ability to express ideas, especially at the higher education level. It's kind of an important skill.

The restaurant's response of incentivizing 1 star reviews on Yelp IS the free market solution to the Yelp problem.

Do you... do you work for Fox News?
Which is why it's now just a chunk of a planet floating around in some weird space.
Pregnancy isn't an illness.
When he gets out and has an entirely new and exciting set of values and social behaviors, he certainly will.
Or you could just kick people who do it out of the library.

You a letter.
Yeah, the September 11th attacks were terrible, but they were a one trick pony. That won't happen again, at least not with that M.O.
This would make inventory/stock management a goddamned nightmare.
Considering that the project is funded something like 10.1 MILLION dollars over goal, I don't think they really needed to make a slashvertisement.

Migraines negatively impact far more people than BSE, so that's probably an appropriate priority.
I think it's important to point out that this is not a bad thing you're describing.

Whether the federal government might find the question of accuracy in the FCAT worth pursuing could be another matter...
The idea that it might not be is completely mind boggling to me.
But don't demand that churches abandon their teachings and laws to make you feel comfortable.
Churches don't get the luxury of making laws, at least in theory. That's for the government.

Probably the same as ours.
Any parent that thinks their kid hasn't drawn a penis, because penises are, in fact, hilarious, needs to go back to parenting school.
